Finally! The Best pancake in lower north shore has been found! Charlie and Franks is sooo underrated. This place is great. Slightly disadvantaged by its location - this place does the best food/coffee IMO. The Spelt pancakes deserve a chef’s hat (exxy but worth it). Dont get me started on the chorizo toastee!!! Would come back time and time again! 5 stars!

Plenty of street parking nearby, it is located off the main road in the IBM plaza, so a little hidden but plenty of signage. 💥 A huge space, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I wish it was dog friendly inside! 💁🏼‍♀️ We got absolutely spoilt here, so much food and we also tried their catering boxes too!! We had so many left over I ended up taking them to North Shore hospital nearby to the nurses. 🧃 Plenty of smoothie, juice and coffee options. All the food was on point, super beautiful and delicious. They definitely specialise in bowls and have so many on their menu. Their catering boxes was some of the best i’ve seen!!

Friendly service. Lots of space on a Saturday, not noisy. Seats inside and out. Coffee was nice. Had the kids french toast with milk bun. Delicious.

My recent visit to Charlie + Franks was a delight. I ordered their Fried Chicken Burger with Fries, and the fresh-made pickles were a highlight. The crispy chicken patty and toasted bun made for a flavorful combination, and the zesty pickles added the perfect tangy touch

Their new spring menu brings fresh ingredients with various culture inspired dishes such as the Chicken bone broth with ramen noodles. Their soup is very light and nourishing, with chicken and pork sausage. The turmeric and coconut barramundi is more heavier dish where I would recommend sharing with others and add Roasted broccoli cutlet on the side. Finishing off with the naughty side, I was very impressed with the Spelt Ricotta Pancakes, with layers of pancakes the texture was fluffy and had a hint of cinnamon. It was like a cinnamon donut but pancakes. Definitely a must try ❤️ Overall incredible staff with smiles adds that extra cherry on top for experience and their dishes.

Bad food good vibe. The service was excellent but the food quality unfortunately was bad. Not sure if my noodle was uncooked or overcooked but it was soggy and sticky as a whole at the same time. Flavour wasn't there either. But service was on point, maybe just not order the noodle you'll be fine.

What a hidden gem! The Spelt Pancakes are incredible. At first I thought they were "healthy pancakes", however these are far from healthy (in a good way!) By far the best pancakes I've ever had. In fact, I now go here regularly just for the pancakes and the incredible service. They set the standard for high quality food matched with outstanding service. A shout out to Angie who always goes above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! Highly recommended!

Chips had a really nice seasoning on them, and portion sizes were very decent. Mushroom toastie had great flavour but fell apart
